Wow, those are some very cool sculpts. I've never heard of these masks, and although I'm not a huge mask enthusiast, that strikes me as odd. You'd think the UMA board would have several threads going on these. I like the inventive names and extreme features of the masks.

And I do recall that smell! That mixed with the vinyl of the kids Halloween costumes is what I think of when I remember childhood Halloween.

I totally LOVE the name Vanilla Gorilla! Wish I'd thought of that when choosing my forum ID! Can I change?

The bottom I Scream mask looks like Little Richard.
Very nice looking masks, these were high end though...$18.00 each translates to roughly $45.00 in current dollars, maybe a bit much for Kresge's? I don't recall them having stuff that expensive.
I wish Halloween costumes still came in a box.

I used to stare at the pictures of the cool looking masks advertised in magazine. I just loved them.

The hooded fang mask looks like the same similar design they used in the movie "The Village"
